Supernatural: Why Kill the Devil?

Dear Supernatural writers,

You know I love you, and I hate to hate, but someone needs to explain this to me: why is Dean's plan to end Armageddon killing the devil? Last night, as we knew they would, Dean and Sam got a bead on the Colt, a MacGuffin I sort of wish you'd drop, and off they raced to find it. Because Dim Dean's ridiculous plan, in case this wasn't clear, is to attempt to kill the devil with it.  

Now here's the angels plan, which Dean refuses to go along with: have Michael take over Dean's body, so Michael-in-Dean can kill Lucifer. If both plans end with a dead Devil and Dean very specifically does not want what the angels want, how can this be his best idea? Can't College Boy come up with something better? Won't killing the Devil have the exact same net result regardless of who accomplishes this goal? 

Again, I love you the most, so just give me a little exposition here. Because we're nine episodes into what should be your best season ever, and I'm still wondering why only Castiel has called Dean out on his dumbest plan yet. 

My two cents: send the Devil back to Hell. With no Lillith, he'll never break free again. 

Next week appears to have the Colt, my boyfriend Castiel, my girlfriend Ellen, Lucifer, and Dean kissing (!) Jo (!!),  so maybe I'm all wrong about this thing. I hope so.

Kisses,

April

Armageddon

Me thinks its a little thing called armageddon that has this plan in their heads. If Dean lets Michael possess him to wage war on Lucifer, said war would result in millions of deaths, whereas if they can kill him without the war... no deaths.

What next?

But what happens after the kill the Devil? The world ends, right? Do all those millions of people get to live in the new Heaven and new Earth? Will there even a new Heaven and a new Earth if God isn't in on this Armageddon?

Sorry, I'm not trying to be difficult. I know why they are avoiding having Michael take care of the Devil for them. But as the end of the last episode demonstrated, they're not exactly saving lives at the moment.
